Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 lamb loin chops, trimmed of fat (3.5 oz each, bone-in)
  • 6 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic and chopped rosemary in a small bowl to make the marinade.
  2. Season lamb chops all over with salt and pepper, place in a shallow dish or resealable bag, and coat with the marinade. Marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the refrigerator).
  3. Preheat grill (or grill pan/broiler) to medium-high. Discard excess marinade and grill chops about 5 minutes per side, or until desired internal temperature (145 °F for medium-rare, 160 °F for medium).
  4. Transfer chops to a plate, tent loosely with foil and rest 5 minutes before serving.
